Why Tom Brady, Not Tim Tebow, Is the NFL's Definitive Superman

Sorry Tim Tebow, you might have a certain amount of luck and a higher power on your side, but Tom Brady has been doing this for years and is as good at winning football games as anyone to come around in a long time.

On Sunday, during New England's 41-23 road win over Tebow's Denver Broncos, Brady showed that in a season where he hasn't been getting as much hype as other players, he's still the best at what he does in the NFL. With Peyton Manning missing the year, everyone is chasing Brady and must be compared to him. While guys like Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees and Tebow are all having nice years, the reigning MVP has taken his team to a 11-3 record after a rocky stretch midseason and has New England rolling.

The Patriots have won six in a row and Brady has been simply fantastic during that stretch. For the season, the 34-year-old has completed 351 of 530 passes (66.2 percent) for 4,593 yards, with 35 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. His quarterback rating of 106.7 ranks third in the league.

Brady is having yet another fantastic season and the Patriots appear headed for yet another first-round bye in the playoffs. That kind of consistency is something you only get out of a guy who has won three Super Bowls in his career.

While Tebow had the Broncos on a nice little six-game win streak entering that game on Sunday, Brady has been dominating NFL defenses for years. People need to remember that Tebow is what he is: a limited second-year starting quarterback. Meanwhile, Brady has seen and done it all. He is a superstar and has proven himself time and again in big games.

If you want to heap praise on a quarterback in the NFL this season, remember what Brady has done consistently for almost his entire career, not what Tebow's Broncos did for a six game stretch.
